CD's, Vinyl (etc) Music Collectors Unite
oldgamerz:
When I'm not buying video games and food, I spend a great deal on Music CD's. I made this thread so we can share some of the information on the CDs, Vinyl or Cassette, A track and Digital Downloads involving music.
SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR POSTING
1: First off what music did you buy this month, if any?
2: What Are You most liked artist's and or bands
3: What is the highlights of your music collection, do you collect music?
I bought a lot of CD's this month including "David & David's Boomtown album" also bought "Dreams So Real's Rough Night In Jericho album "
I collect any type of music mostly Rock and Hard Rock, those 2 bands are somewhat obscure. They were alternative rock bands of the 1980's
Some highlights to my collection is my entire collection of the band called "Journey" I own every single Journey Album from 1975-2011 with all 14 studio albums included
and my Bon Jovi Album collection. I have a number of Kiss albums too but far from the complete set. I got all 4 Creed albums.
I picked up 1000's (just not this month) of CD's at both online Amazon, Walmart and a physical indoor flea market. I've been collecting music CD's since 2008 and I don't burn none of them

I don't really keep an inventory of what I have picked up when it comes to music. I will typically buy CDs and tapes but not really records. And a big no to 8 tracks because I don't want to have to replace the foams in even the ones I already have!
I did recently pick up a hybrid disc, one that is a music CD on one side and a DVD video on the other side. It even came in a weird plastic holder. I bought it as a novelty really, I have no idea who the artist is.
One thing I like to do is pick up cassette tapes that are in other languages that I find at thrift. Or anything that looks interesting when it comes to package design.
Here is one example: https://imgur.com/a/Fds1D
I currently do not have a method for playing CDs. I primarily listen to them in the car. I have a cd changer that I would love to get fixed, then I could use that. I have two main cassette players. A single deck and a 6 changer.

I use a computer or PlayStation 3 to record them to but I never burn CD's or even use any burned copies anymore. I listen them all in one playlist on 2 devices. I have dreams of opening a radio station that plays more then hits

I went through a small phase of buying vinyl records at the beginning of the year, but after getting to about just under 30 I realised it was getting quite expensive, and haven't bought any since. I like buying CDs just for having around and taking in the car since they're really cheap most of the time, just popping on Amazon to look up an album I really like that I haven't got yet and getting it for just £1 or £2 is fun.
The majority of my music is digital though, I have about 1300 albums on my computer which I have hooked up to my stereo and listen to them through that.
Most of the music I listen to is post-punk, punk, goth rock, new wave etc and other sub-genres that fall under those... but I have quite a bit of a mixture of other genres, too. Honestly music for me is a much bigger thing than games these days, I listen for hours every single day, and most days I try to find new bands or albums to listen to.
I haven't bought any physical music this month but I've downloaded quite a lot of albums, some of the ones I like most that I had never heard before being;
Alvvays - "Antisocialites" and their self-titled album (dream-pop, indie)
Wild Nothing - "Gemini", "Indigo" and "Nocturne" (dream-pop, shoegaze, indie)
GZA/Genius - "Liquid Swords" (hip-hop)
Alice in Chains - "Facelift" (grunge, alternative)
Green Day - "Insomniac" (punk, pop-punk)
I could talk about music all day ;D

Do have a sound card for your computer? if not I highly recommend buying one, I too used to hook my computer up to an old stereo system. Most computer sound cards enhance the listening, and in my experience make your music more clear, and sound cards are must when hooking them up to surround sound, and are also good for standard stereo sound. Sound cards are usually better then standard mother board audio. most Sound cards are basically a computer chip that hooks up to the internal insides of a computer usually a desktop, not a laptop.
